Here’s one for garlic lovers! In this video, Chef John shows you how to prepare a simple bay scallop appetizer. Once you’ve chopped the garlic and parsley, this recipe takes just a few minutes to prepare. You’ll see a great technique for drying thawed scallops—you’ll want as much moisture removed as possible before tossing them in a hot skillet. After a quick blast, the scallops come out sweet, moist, and tender. Serve the scallops and butter sauce over toast for an appetizer. You’ll also see how easy it is to convert this saucy appetizer into a glorious main dish. Get the recipe for Chef John's Garlic Parsley Scallops.
